Microsoft issues security advisory for Excel

Microsoft Corporation issued a security bulletin this week regarding its
Excel 97 spreadsheet product, which has a vulnerability that could allow
certain programs to bypass the Excel's security subsystem and call an
external program without warning the user. Microsoft has released a patch
that fixes the problem.

There have not been any reports of customers being adversely affected
by this problem. The patch is available from the Office Update web site.
